Looked to the Beginner Books shelf for update inspiration this morning and was reminded of my Richard Erdoes love, Come Over to My House. (Every house must have a Beginner Books shelf along with one for Golden Books and another smaller one for Beatrix Potter and Golden Nature Guides. Seriously.) So, please re-welcome this extraordinary post from 2008, updated for your viewing pleasure! Enjoy and have a great one. (And happy Battle of the Flowers if any of you kids live here in San Antonio!)

Love the illustrations and the idea behind this book!
I have a memory of reading this with my grandmother and could not remember the title or author--just the images of an igloo and a little boy traveling around the world. Thanks so much! This has been on my mind for the past several years. Didn't know how I was going to find it.
Love this book -- the illustrations are great. I went looking for it recently, but it was such a fortune everywhere! My girlfriend has one, and I told her to take good care of it!
This was my absolute favourite as a child. A while ago I walked into a second hand bookshop and the first thing I saw was a copy - so of course I had to have it. I've recently seen it has been reprinted though after being out of print - in Australia anyway. My other favourite was Snow - which I haven't found a copy of yet.
I loved this book when I was a kid. I wanted so badly to live in a high rise with a tennis court on top. That seemed so amazingly cool!
